Topological insulators in the Bi$_2$Se$_3$ family manifest helical Dirac surface states that span the topologically ordered bulk band gap. Recent scanning tunneling microscopy measurements have discovered additional states in the bulk band…

On a lossless periodic dielectric structure sandwiched between two homogeneous media, bound states in the continuum (BICs) with real frequencies and real Bloch wavevectors may exist, and they decay exponentially in the surrounding…

We introduce a class of models, dubbed paired twist-defect networks, that generalize the structure of Kitaev's honeycomb model for which there is a direct equivalence between: i) Floquet codes (FCs), ii) adiabatic loops of gapped…

We propose a general edge index definition for two-dimensional Floquet topological phases based on a switch-function formalism. When the Floquet operator has a spectral gap the index covers both clean and disordered phases, anomalous or…

Engineering dissipative dynamics in open quantum systems is under active focus, especially in topological settings where resilient edge modes are expected to exhibit decay rates distinct from the bulk. In this letter, we propose an…

A salient feature of solid-state topological materials in two dimensions is the presence of conducting electronic edge states that are insensitive to scattering by disorder. Such unidirectional edge states have been explored in many…

Bound states in the continuum (BICs) have emerged as powerful tools to realize ultra-high-Q resonances in nanophotonics. While previous implementations have primarily relied on dielectric metasurfaces, their optical confinement remains…

Photonic bound states in the continuum (BICs) are special localized and non-decaying states of a photonic system with a frequency embedded into the spectrum of scattered states. The simplest photonic structure displaying a single BIC is…

We propose and experimentally realize a class of quasi-one-dimensional topological lattices whose unit cells are constructed by coupled multiple identical resonators, with uniform hopping and inversion symmetry. In the presence of…

In the presence of a circularly polarized mid-infrared radiation graphene develops dynamical band gaps in its quasi-energy band structure and becomes a Floquet insulator. Here we analyze how topologically protected edge states arise inside…

The existence of gapless boundary states is a key attribute of any topological insulator. Topological band theory predicts that these states are robust against static perturbations that preserve the relevant symmetries. In this article,…

We present a joint experimental and theoretical study of the driven Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model implemented by arrays of evanescently coupled plasmonic waveguides. Floquet theory predicts that this system hosts for suitable driving…

We construct and classify chiral topological phases in driven (Floquet) systems of strongly interacting bosons, with finite-dimensional site Hilbert spaces, in two spatial dimensions. The construction proceeds by introducing exactly soluble…

We introduce a method for effectively identifying bound states in the continuum (BICs) - notably without computing the imaginary part of the eigenvalues - thereby simplifying the modeling and potentially reducing computation time. In real,…

This paper proposes a quantitative description of the low energy edge states at the interface between two-dimensional topological insulators. They are modeled by continuous Hamiltonians as systems of Dirac equations that are amenable to a…

Leaky-mode photonic lattices exhibit intricate resonance effects originating in quasi-guided lateral Bloch modes. Key spectral properties are associated with phase-matched modes at the second (leaky) stop band. One band edge mode suffers…

A recently-proposed class of photonic topological insulators is shown to map onto Chalker-Coddington-type networks, which were originally formulated to study disordered quantum Hall systems. Such network models are equivalent to the Floquet…

A two-dimensional periodically driven (Floquet) system with zero winding number in the absence of time-reversal symmetry is usually considered topologically trivial. Here, we study the dynamics of a Gaussian wave packet placed at the…

Periodically driven non-Hermitian systems can exhibit rich topological band structure and non-Hermitian skin effect, without analogs in their static or Hermitian counterparts. In this work we investigate the exceptional band-touching points…

Systems that can be described with the same mathematical models that account for the properties of electrons in graphene are known as graphene-like systems. These include magnons, photons, polaritons, acoustic waves, and electrons in…
